Oukameden Ski Resort

Given the soaring heat of Marrakech, its incredible that within only one hour’s drive you can be in the dramatic snow capped peaks of the Atlas Mountains.
Snow generally falls between February and April each year, which is the peak period for the Oukaïmeden Ski Resort which is located high above the Ourika Valley. In a novel twist, skiers ride by donkey from the bottom of the mountain to the top with their ski and snowboarding equipment, making for a completely unique experience. You can hire whatever equipment you need at the resort.
